Showing his interest in the building of a socialist-orientedmarket economy in Vietnam, Mohamed Abdoun quoted the Vietnamese Party chief assaying that the introduction of the concept of socialist-oriented market economy constitutes a fundamental and creative theoreticalbreakthrough of the CPV, an important theoretical achievement obtained after 35years of Doi moi (Renewal), built on the Vietnamese realities and the selectivereception of international experience.

He emphasised that with its ability to self-renew,self-adapt to new situations and face great challenges, the CPV has innovatedonce again by promoting a unique concept of socialist-oriented marketeconomy, while maintaining the basic tenets of Marxism-Leninism.

Abdoun said that the article by Party General SecretaryNguyen Phu Trong shows that in Vietnam, the concept of market economy ishumane, and people are not “monetized”.

The management during the COVID-19 pandemic has proved the soundnessof the vision, as well as the choices and orientations that the Communist Partyof Vietnam has adopted.

The Communist Party of Vietnam is also steadfast in itsultimate goal of real socialism, equipped with efficient and modern means of productionand an agriculture that meets the needs of the people, and even can help neighbouringcountries when necessary, he added./.
